Female plants that wont produce feminized pollen.

Hello,

So I'm attempting to cross two female StarRyder plants. I made my solution of silver thiosulfate and sprayed the selected female. She has grown TONS of bananas! There are hundreds of feminized pollen sacks, but they are NOT producing pollen. They are empty.
They are just falling off without letting off pollen.
What have I done wrong? I would greatly appreciate some help here. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance
Respectfully,
Thefusedone

I have a WhiteFire clone that is the same, tried every variance of STS and CS, but no pollen.
Finaly just decided to use some regular pollen on her

I'd try doing it withsome different dosages.

it could very well be some strains won't properly reverse at all, but personally I've not encountered those yet(but I also have not tried reversing that many different unrelated ones, so my experience is just limited).
however my first try reversing I ran into the same problem, in my case I found that a lower concentration of STS+fewer aplications had a better effect. clone from exactly the same plant that failed at first now produced plenty of visible pollen, with flowers that opened on their own just like they should, instead of falling off the plant unopened.

so if I were you I'd mess around with that dose a bit to see if you can get your plant to behave better.

You might explain "what you did" to offer a better perspective on the problem (if any) and possible solution(s)

Generally it's because of too much STS, but if you desiccate them completely and grind them gently through a screen you'll usually get viable pollen.

Check out the thread in my sig. :tiphat:
